Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia with over 12 years of experience working as a counselor and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, and anger management. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
Originally from Mississippi, my counseling approach focuses heavy on building a strong rapport, so that trust is established before goals are discussed. Growing up in the south, treating someone with respect is required. In addition, my years working with individuals experiencing homelessness and those who were uninsured enhanced my awareness of seeing each person for who they are vs what they are currently experiencing. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, narrative, and solution-focused counseling, but I can and will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
Taking control towards feeling better is a courageous first step and if you are ready, I am willing to walk along with you to ensure you are heard, receive support, and empowered along the way.
Thank you starting your journey & I look forward to working with you!

My counselor is the sweetest and most helpful counselor I have ever had. When life seemed rough , I knew I could count on any session or connection to help put me at ease. Sophia is most attentive and caring. I am truly thankful for her advice and guidance.
